[Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm. Rinea sort of knew this part, vaguely. Somnus's entire line is to be sacrificed for the good of the realm... but she was told that Ardyn was already killed(even if it didn't stick) by the time this prophecy came to pass. So then, what reason would he have to resent it? Surely not out of familial love. Could it be out of envy, even if Somnus's position as a sacrifice still kind of sucks? Maybe because he includes himself as one of the sacrificed? Maybe because his resentment of Somnus extends to anything the man is associated with? (Thinking about it that way, maybe she IS lucky to not have been stabbed last time they spoke. Oof.)

From what Somnus said of the Starscourge, Rinea understands Ardyn had a fraught relationship with it... but she cannot really grasp how much it shaped him. (Somnus's explanation is nearly two thousand years dated, after all.) There are clearly depths to Ardyn she has yet to realize.]

That truly sounds quite awful. [No matter what, that much is true.] I am sorry to hear your homeland faces something so dire! And for you to have lived so long watching such a fate must surely take its toll.

[Is that sympathy? Eww.]
